I love Christmas. Down here in Australia we celebrate it a lot differently than your ‘typical’ white Christmas. Instead of snow, reindeers and sledding we have scorching hot weather, kangaroos pulling Santa’s sled and fun in the backyard pool.
I think these cards typify what Christmas is like down here. They are relaxed, laid-back and they celebrate our uniqueness.
Are you getting into the Christmas spirit? We put up our Christmas tree on the weekend so I’m feeling all kinds of festive!
If you need to kickstart your Christmassy feelings these cards and postcards by Pei Design will do the trick.

Christmas is my favourite time of year. As soon as the stores hang up their tinsel and fairy lights I start playing my Christmas playlist and start unpacking our Christmas decorations.
The way we celebrate Christmas is so very different than our friends in the northern hemisphere. It is generally hot, we spend a lot of time in the pool and we chow down on cold meats, salad and a big ‘ole pavlova.
As our experience is different it always seems a little weird to send cards depicting a white Christmas with snowmen and snowflakes and…well…snow! So I’ve tracked down a few Aussie Christmas cards that depict a Christmas down under. Enjoy!
